Friday haiku & old men

Goodmorning lovelies – days fly by and before I know it, another week is gone… a week in which the temperatures dropped a little, thank goodness. It’s also the time that most people are on holidays and my ‘island’ (which is actually a peninsula) overflows with tourists. When my beloved and I dare to go outside, we almost have to use our elbows to get to the grocery shop. On warm days, the beaches are packed too. My friend Lena avoids the crowds by going for walks in the early morning hours to find the beach empty… but still she isn’t always alone, last week there was some activity going on…

Friday haiku

Een man. Een duintop. Een veelkleurige vlieger en een grote sprong…

A man. A dune top. A multicoloured glider and a giant leap…

I submit this haiku to Recuerda Mi Corazon where our lovely hostess Rebecca brings us all together to share a haiku on Friday: Haiku my Heart.

I finished two canvasses that lay waiting for the final touches. Old men with pale faces, wrinkles and bags under their eyes: it pleases me to put them on paper or canvas. I no longer wonder where they all come from or what the hidden message is, I just bring them into the world and let them exist.

I hope you look (and feel) better than these greenish men, have a beautiful weekend y’all!

Je t’embrasse.
